Are black people today truly affected by the consequences of a mythical systemic racism? No. If anything, they are the beneficiaries of expensive government programs to help them advance. When provocateurs say that we should hand Africans all our wealth—plus more—as reparations for slavery and colonialism, our response shall be simple: We’re not going to do that.
We don’t owe anyone anything. Europeans and their descendants have spend many centuries working long hours for 40 or more weeks a year, at least since the Industrial Age. Most other races at the time were living a life of subsistence farming. Or they hunted for a meal and spent the rest of the day with friends talking about their dreams.
